"but……"

"Does Sister Matthew hate acting with me?" Rhodes asked.

This is directly above the underworld, Ai Lei's sphere of influence, and it is also Wang Hassan's domain.

So it doesn't matter if Lixiang is allowed to act alone.

"No! That's not the case!" Matthew shook her head in a panic.

At this time, Romani joined the conversation.

"Well... Although I also want to object, the result of the lottery is sacred, and there is indeed no hostile reaction.

In the future, there may be situations where Lixiang needs to investigate alone, and experience is needed for everything, so it is not a bad idea to let Lixiang act alone this time. "

Fujimaru Tatsuka hugged Fufu and said, "Well, it's okay, I will call everyone if something happens."

"...Since the seniors have said so, I understand. Mr. Luo, please give me your advice."

"Then let's start the investigation as soon as possible. In short, let's search separately for an hour. No matter what the result is, come back here and gather!"

……

……

"It's the first time we've been alone with two of you, Mr. Rhodes."

"Well, when you think about it, it's true... because Fufu is always very resistant to my personal contact with you. Just now, he bit my ear and threatened me for a long time."

"Huh? Is that so?"

They chatted mindlessly while walking in the empty streets of Kusa City.

"Mr. Rhodes is really reliable... Although Anna is also very reliable, she doesn't seem to be very good at getting along with people. Mr. Rhodes is different, she is also very experienced in dealing with people." Matthew sighed.

"Really? Well...Emotional intelligence has nothing to do with age. Some people live to be 1500 years old and still look like children."

Right, Mellie.

"Well, yes."

Suddenly, a strange black figure flashed beside them.

"Over there is..." Matthew warned.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two followed the strange shadow and walked over.

After entering an empty room, their bodies were immediately enveloped by a violent sense of weightlessness, and their eyes were pitch black.

When he opened his eyes again, the daytime street he was in suddenly turned into a gloomy cave-like scenery.

"...?"

Although the city just now was a dead city, this place is countless times more eerie.

They fell into the underworld smoothly.

"Sister Matthew, are you alright?"

"Well, I'm fine... where is this place?"

The girl patted the lime on her round buttocks, and looked around.

"A living person! A living person!"

Suddenly, a circle of figures in black robes surrounded them.

The light was very dim, and Matthew took a closer look. Under the hoods of those people were skeleton faces without flesh and blood.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Is it a ghost?"

The girl subconsciously hid behind Rhodes, holding onto the boy's shoulders tightly.

Afterwards, she immediately realized her gaffe, and quickly jumped out from behind Rhodes with her big shield in hand, her taut and trembling legs stood in front of the boy.

"Luo, Mr. Luo... Mashu sister will protect you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"Why are there living people in the underworld...why..."

"Did you come to laugh... did you come to plunder... did you come to escape... did you come to discard..."

"Unforgivable... no matter what kind of unforgivable..."

"Die, die, die, die die die die die die!"

Howling and sighing, the ghost kept approaching Rhodes and Matthew.

"Ready to fight." Matthew took a deep breath.

"...slow down."

Rhodes stopped the approaching ghost.

"Garula spirits, she and I are not dead yet. We are the queen's guests."

"...?"

The Galula spirits stopped and looked at each other, and Mash was also surprised by the "queen" Rhodes mentioned.

"That's it, they are my guests... I will close the seven doors and go back to fulfill your duty of protection."

The voice of the third party echoed in the dark space.

Then Ereshkigal appeared before the two of them.

"Fear. Pray. Despair, man. I am the master of death."

The mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal, in the form of the king of the Galura spirit, reads her debut lines that have not changed for thousands of years.

As for why this stance is used, there are many reasons.

But the main reason is... She wants to show Rhodes a beautiful girl posture on a more suitable and romantic occasion.

"That is... the Queen?"

Matthew swallowed her saliva, still maintaining the posture of holding the round table high, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

"Ailey! I miss you so much!"

Rhodes stepped forward quickly, and rushed towards the big skeleton.

"Rods, Wei... Huh! Huh?"

Matthew stared at Rhodes who was hugging the pure white skeleton in dumbfounded.

"Wait, wait! Humans, don't go too far... I hate it, Rhodes, there are others!"

Ereshkigal exclaimed in embarrassment and joy, shaking his body desperately.

"...Can it be done without others?" Rhodes asked with his face pressed against her bones.

"certainly not!"

Ereshkigal gently pushed Rhodes away from his arms, and said in a cold tone.

"Rod... who is she?"

"Mash. Mash Kyrielight...one of the strangers who came to this era."

"You, hello... first meeting, Your Lady Queen."

Matthew bowed cautiously.

"So that's how it is...she is."

Ereshkigal turned to Mash and spoke condescendingly.

"Humans. The underground of Kusa City is still connected to the underworld, and you fell into the underworld alive."

"Does the underworld... still exist?" Matthew asked in surprise.

According to Da Vinci and Mei Li's explanation, the underworld of Mesopotamia is located below the surface of the earth, and it should have disappeared along with the Age of Gods.

But the dead and silent scenery in front of him made Matthew immediately believe that he was in the underworld.

"...Yes, the underworld still exists." She changed the topic.

"But since you already know the existence of the underworld, I can only ask you to stay here [to die]."

Saying that, Ereshkigal passed Rhodes, and stretched out a cold and magical hand towards Mash.

"Wait, Ellie! You can't kill her!"

Rhodes stood in front of Matthew.

"Get out of the way, Rhodes."

Ereshkigal said coldly.

"I won't kill you, but I can't let others know of my existence.

This girl is just your companion in Uruk, you have no reason to cover her up. "

"I don't want Ellie to kill any more."

"..."

Rhodes' words left Ereshkigal speechless.

After standing there for a while, she said in a loud voice with ups and downs.

"Rod, did you make a mistake?

I am the goddess who governs death... If there is no death, what is left of me! ?

So far, I have killed countless people... That's right, I took all the humans in Kusa City away.

In the future, I will kill more and more people until all human beings on the ground are wiped out..."

"I will find a way for God and man to coexist." Rhodes said, "So don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"...that kind of thing is simply impossible." Alley said tremblingly.

Ereshkigal once told Rhodes: His ideal is to restore the world where humans and gods coexist——

So happy, he really... remember?
